Talking the Blues episodes

  • Talking the Blues podcast – summertime – is Everton’s success dependent upon what we spend?

    Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with Andy and George Costigan. We spend a little bit over an hour pondering on the factors behind Everton’s future success, are the number of English players relevant and finally communications, should the Friedkins be doing more?

  • Talking the Blues Podcast – the Goodison (men’s) finale and much more

    Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast in which we look back on the final fixture for the men’s team at Goodison. What a momentous day, and what credit our fans are to the City and our Club. Ultimately, we are the Club!

  • Talking the Blues Podcast – 1st test event Bramley-Moore & infrastructure

    Welcome to a bonus edition of Talking the Blues Podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We look back on the opening of the incredible Bramley-Moore stadium – something the club and architect, Dan Meis must take great credit for, before delving into all the supporting infrastructure and transport requirements which will make match day travelling equal to the match experience within the stadium.
